Rob,

It's notthat she isn't returning fire so much as she's busy building "the bomb".

Thanks alot Rob and Slim. That's the least I can do for the club, and I'm glad you guys like it and appreciate it.

And if I were you I'd run that win into the ground. I'm sure she would...lol!
And Jason's right; he knows Christine well enough. You know it's comin'.

Okay, I got 'er done! At least as far as the repairs and getting it sea-worthy.

I PRESENT TO YOU MY LITTLE WOODY!!



Spot for the bow-light;



Spot for stern-light;



finished corners;



All those plugs hide 1 5/8" deck-screws. There shouldn't be any rusting screws to break off down the road. I made it as maintenance-free as I could.



The finish is good ole spar-varnish with a U.V. inhibitor, so the sun won't beat up the wood too fast.



It's all sea-worth. Now I have to run the lights and makeit legal. I still need a couple tubes of J-B Weld or plumber's putty to fill some cracks here and there, but once it's done I'm gonna give it a $35.00 paint-job and decorate with some nice decals, first of which will be a club-insignia. I found a web-site that'll make pretty much anything you want. And they're not that expensive at all. If you guys like it, I'll order a bunch for us and we can plaster them all over our boats.

I HAVE A BOAT!!!

She's beautiful, ...at least the wood part. ;)

Can I help you cover the wood with the non-skid carp-egg residue finish ??
